"Why? I guess…why not? Life is too short to pass up on these opportunities and so far it’s been a blast. Remind me of this happy feeling when I’m standing in front of everyone though!!"

Chief Superintendent
OPP Western Region Headquarters

"Why I wanted to do this: to be part of an enjoyable event where I can contribute to a great cause and do something I've been told by far too many people I need to do - learn how to dance."

Communications Dispatcher
Provincial Communications Centre - London

"The DMMF is such a great foundation. Dave was a great guy that I had the pleasure of dispatching many times. The foundation is doing a great job in carrying on the great work that Dave did in his community. The money they are raising is going to much needed defibrillators.
I am honoured that I was asked to be involved in the Dancing with the Stars and involved in the Dave Mounsey Memorial Foundation!"

Provincial Constable

"It is a great cause. The money raised is used for much needed equipment. It is an honour to be involved in the Dancing with the Stars."

Administrative Assistant
OPP Western Region Headquarters

"I am so excited to be involved in this competition and compete with some great people on the dance floor! Having known Dave and now understanding just how important it was for him to raise funds for these defibrillators; for myself to play a small part in continuing his dream for something as important as this, I consider it not only an honour, but a privilege.

"I knew Dave Mounsey personally as well as professionally. He always had a smile and made things interesting. It is an honour to be involved in something associated to him that is making a difference after he left us far too soon..."

Constable

"I have 22 years in policing. I decided to do dancing with the stars because Dave and I were together for 7 years and we ran a marathon together to raise money for the first defibrillator. That was 6 days before his car accident. I love him and miss him.................."

Provincial Constable
Western Region

"I have 24 years as a constable, working in Alliston, Hornepayne and for the last 16 years out of Wingham. Whilst in Wingham I worked with both Brenda Carey and Dave Mounsey. It was Dave who was one of the Officers who came to my door to tell me that my son Matthew had been killed in Afghanistan 4 years ago. 7 months later, I moved in with Brenda and the boys for the week after Dave's death to help them through that.

The second defibrillator that the DMMF donated, was in Matthew's name to the Wingham Legion.
When I was asked to dance in this competition and Brenda agreed to join me, I jumped at the chance. The practices have been a lot of work and a lot of fun and I am looking forward to throwing Brenda around the dance floor during our Swing Dance routine."

Communications Dispatcher

"Anyone who knows me well, knows I love a challenge. So what better way to challenge myself by entering a dance competiton when I have 2 left feet!!
The bonus was that I could in the meantime help out a great cause and help raise money for DMMF. The experience has been fantastic and I can't wait to show family and friends what i've learnt over the last few months!"

"I'm in the competition to have fun and raise money for a good cause."

Communications Dispatcher
Provincial Communications Centre - London

"I got involved in this dance competition because I firmly believe that with absolutely no dance experience whatsoever, it makes perfect sense to want to get up in front of a room packed with strangers and shake what your momma gave you !! Kidding.. I truly think that this is a great cause, and not only did I have the pleasure of working with PC Dave Mounsey, being a dispatcher, I also had the chance to know him outside of work. The DMMF had done alot of great charity events, but I think this will be a chance for us to let loose and have some fun."

Provincial Constable
Western Region

"Raising funds for a great cause and supporting our fellow officers and communities. Having had the honour of working with officers and emergency personnel who have given the ultimate sacrifice this is the least I can do do show my gratitude."

"I believe this is a great cause and honour's fallen heroes at the same time. I thought it would be fun as well.."

Detective Constable
Western Region

"I volunteered to take part in DWTS to assist in making the event a success. It was revealed to me that Shaun Snow and Brenda Carey were each competing in the dance competition and since I know that neither can dance I figured the competition would be a complete failure unless somebody stepped up. When Jenn Wilson's partner backed out, I knew that no matter how bad I was that there would be two groups worse than us so I became Jen's new partner."
